I get Tom's point about the fact that Pseudocorus is a combination of
Pseudo and Acorus--but given some of the other comments I wonder why the
pronunciation of Acorus is fixed as "ACK" rather than "AHK". If either
could be acceptable wouldn't the "sue-duh-KOR-us" be an acceptable
pronunciation? (Sorry to be do confusing with the way these are spelled
out--hopefully my point is clear if you pronounce these all aloud).
